Aim: The mating system of Panax ginseng, genetics and ontogenetic structure of its natural
populations of Primorye (Russia) were investigated. Methods: Genetic diversity was …

Black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a keystone species for riparian ecosystems in Europe. We
analysed the structure of genetic diversity of 17 populations from 11 river valleys that are …

We explored the extent of interspecific hybridisation between alien and native plant species
in Germany with a special focus on the potential threat for native biodiversity. In total we …

It is recognized that introgressive hybridization and gene flow from domesticated species
into their wild relatives can have a profound effect on the persistence and evolution of wild …

Identifying processes underlying the genetic and morphological differences among
populations is a central question of evolutionary biology. Forest trees typically contain high …

Three ex situ collections of poplar clones from natural populations of Populus alba and P.
nigra growing in northern Italy were assessed for their genetic dissimilarity (GD) by means of …

In the few last decades, the genus Populus has gained a unique position in ecology,
commercial applications and science. The special role of riparian habitats in the …

A collection of 133 apricot cultivars and three related species originating from different
geographical regions were studied with 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers developed in …

As the evolutionary significance of hybridization is largely dictated by its extent beyond the
first generation, we broadly surveyed patterns of introgression across a sympatric zone of …

Abstract Background Black cottonwood (Populus deltoides) is one of the keystone forest tree
species, and has become the main breeding parents in poplar hybrid breeding. However …
